This is the Dallara EXP, a track-only variant of the Stradale that promises extraordinary levels of performance. Powering the Dallara EXP is the same basic 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder as the Ford Focus RS and also used by the Stradale. However, the engine has been modified by Bosch and now delivers 493 hp and 700 Nm, huge gains over the 395 hp and 500 Nm of the Stradale. The track-only model comes exclusively with a six-speed sequential transmission driving the rear wheels through a Quaife limited-slip differential.
Underpinning the EXP is the Stradale’s carbon fiber monocoque but the motorsport firm has made a plethora of upgrades to the car’s bodywork. For example, a larger rear wing has been fitted while the front fascia also adopts new canards and a more pronounced splitter. The car also lacks the windshield and roof that the Stradale can be optioned with and is said to deliver 1,249 kg of downforce at its 290 km/h top speed. That’s a remarkable figure when you consider that the EXP weighs just 890 kg.
When combined with slick tires that come standard, the Dallara EXP can deliver 2.7 G of lateral acceleration through corners, roughly double what the highest-performing street-legal supercars and hypercars can deliver. Dallara hasn’t announced pricing for the EXP. Interestingly, Dallara says individuals that already own a road-going Stradale will be able to purchase the EXP’s various new components and cycle between them if they want to use their vehicle both on the road and on the track.
